Hoot Hoot..(Ô.Ô)



OMG...my fear has come true...i am officially an insomniac. I can go through a whole day..running on 4hrs of sleep...and not feel tired at all! the pathetic part is...when i actually do get a chance to sleep in during the weekends...i can only sleep for 6hrs max! it sux booty to wake up and see you clock strikes 8am... -_-" There are various pros and cons to such a habit. Pro: I have become the almighty energizer bunny that NEVER stops, I have made an evolutionary advancement...which contrares to majority of you that are stuck in your primitive state, and of course....i have 18hrs in a day instead of 16hrs! Opposing the pros: I probably will age sooner than all of you, my immune system will go on strikes and protests more frequently than all of your's, and my caffeine addiction will stretch to infinity.

I thought age would get to me by now and my adrenaline would eventually die down...leaving me a tired body that savors nice and LONG nites of sleep. Apparently...my adrenaline pump continues to be on overdrive and i'm more wired than ever! scary thought isnt it? me...more wired...geez...if this continues..i'll be in the insane asylum in no time (and you know you've been wanting to commit me into the mental institution already...dont look away..yea you...u know it crossed your mind at some point!). I'm not sure how long i can keep up with this long days and nites...but hey..as long as my body's holding up..i'm gonna continue to take advantage of this neverending energy burst.

It is funny tho...reflecting back on the good ol' childhood days. You have the time and the luxury to have plenty of sleep. Yet, we always want to stay up longer and late into the nite...until parentals step in with the firm voice tone and hawl our a$$es to bed. Now...sleep is a luxury...something we deprive ourselves from...either because of the lack of time or just plain ol' psycho. If only i would've known back in those carefree days..i would catch up on all the sleep i can possibly get!

*Wind up Aileen* i'm going....and going...and going...and going...and going....

Still Alive

Wow...time sure passed by quick. School started for me and craziness have dawned on me once again. I almost forgot what it was like to be a student once again. PharmD program ain't a joke...it's a lot more intense than i anticipated. I've only had 1 1/2 weeks of school and i'm behind already! sheesh! nerdom will be my status once again and you all will see me less and less on online. I appologize for fpossible urture infrequent blogging. I will however report to you whenever i get a chance to. The good thing is...i'm really enjoying my life here in SF and really got to know some wonderful people. I'm glad i'm here and I'm pumped with what i will do! with all that said...how you all doing?!? *wink*

I have never felt so out of control of my life until lately. I feel like a drunk driver, believing i'm driving a straight line...when in fact...i'm just swerving left and right. a lot of curve ball's been thrown at me during the past month. Some wonderful...some...umm..not so great. I have established new career goals and found a new purpose in life. I refined and created new connection to the previously almost non-existent love territory. It's all very strange...being the organized person that I am. I am never known as a risk taker nor am i known for my adventurous nature (i am crazy...but safely first!). However, whatever craziness that happened to me...made me feel...perhaps some chaos is good. It makes you aware that you're still "living" and spice up the mundane routines a bit. Regardless of how chaotic things are...things are falling into place quite nicely. Sorta like...tossing dices...even tho it's random and u dont know what numbers will show...but heck..i'm winning! mwa ha ha ha ha.. I must have done something right...if only i know what that is.... (o.O) I understand i'm perhaps being fairly "vague" with this entry....but I can't really quite put my hands on what's going on. I am lost, confused, scared, and yet...at the same time...liberated, happy, and content. i really should lower my gear and be more susceptible to changes. open my heart up a bit more and be accepting to the options around me. guarding myself and playing it "safe" should be a thing of the past. give certain things a shot...even as a blind woman...u never know unless you try right? let's just hope i dont crash and burn..heh..

On another note...SF's been sunny! i've never been so happy in seeing the sun. Oh sunshine...how i miss you so...how i love you so...and how i want you so...will you please stay for just a while longer?!? you socal folks....i envy you...dont take the sun and the warmth for granted! you're all blessed in comparison to majority of the world suffering various weather conditions that are less than ideal (btw...prayer goes out to victims in Katrina and another prayer goes out to the people who's suffering Rita...and you noticed...how they name all the hurricanes females?!? i think it's rather fitting =P)

i'm tired...i'm exhausted...my immune system's protesting for the lack of sleep...and i'm eccstatic about what's to come... =D

Simple Pleasures in Life
1) When you find out someone's thinking about you
2) Being silly and making faces
3) Watching others be silly and make a fool out of themselves
4) Potlucks (heck..any food makes me happy =D)
5) When you catch the muni just in time

Nothing Clever



On Play don't stop: Plans
By: Death Cab for Cutie
Recommended Song: I Will Follow You Into the Dark






I have become such a homebody...thanks to the wonderful SF weather. While you SoCal folks enjoy your sunshine and beach....i must endure the BUTT cold weather and dress like a caveman. All part of adaptation to the new environment i suppose ...so suck it up and stop whining Aileen!!! My homebody status allowed me to bond with my housemates...and I am one lucky chica to be living with 3 hottie senõritas (but sorrie dudes..they're all taken..one's even married). I realized some estrogen in my life is good for my mental health. I became quite an unsensitive gal this past year because of testosterone overload in my life (nothing against you dudewhadds...but just like the fatty in n' out burgers you must sacrifice once in a while for the sake of your health..i must refrain from you guys for the sake of my however miniscure "girliness" =P) lots of errands running and as you saw in my previous post...my nice little home away from "home" is coming along quite nicely. My humble abode welcomes your visit =D . We are also having an extra addition to our lovely new home too...and he'll be the man of the house...our very own Toby! don't be messing with this yorkie..u'll have 4 mamas on your tail if u dare! hahah..

Seeing 3 couples in my house reignited my faith in relationships (the continuous viewing of the Men's US. Open might add a bit of incentives too...dang..those tennis men are pretty delicious to watch =P). It's hard to imagine that these girls are my age too..and yet..they're so....settled! Talking to them really makes me feel the age catching up...have we gotten to that point in our lives that marriage is under consideration in every relationships we get ourselves into? wow..time really waits for no one. I am sure the 80% female population will be a great help to my singledom status -_-" It is nevertheless exciting to see what destiny has in the stores for me. it's the mysteries in life and the wonders of love that constantly keep me on my toes and yearning for some answers. Then again...i still foresee myself...30...single...and marrying one of my back up dudes! hahah.. Shout out to my back ups...may the force be with you and you know who you are..hahha..

I do realize that I have found my happy self once more...the cynicism still exists..but the dorkiness never ceased. Let's keep this cheeriness going before the gloom and fog of school overcasts my sunny mood. Orientation starts soon and I will once again partake in the "ice breaker" games i dispised so much now a days. Have I become a bitter and antisocial being? HA..perhaps in my blogs..but in person...i'm quite a deceivance. Let's put on my social self and let the UCSF Pharm school party show begin!


This is a reminder to you of the dorky inner Aileen that's never lost...even with the test of time. SMILE and dont miss me too much!!! >=D

Simple Pleasures in Life

4) Talking to my mama..who's a Pacific Ocean away...on the phone
5) Arguing with my sister...who's 8hrs away...on AIM

Mah Crib

After a few day of errands, essential purchases, and decoration obsessiveness....i'm finally all settled in my new house, getting comfy in my living domain, exploring the city...and blogging for you (and mostly my) entertainment. You may ask...how is it up in the hurray area? so far...my only thought is...IT'S FREAK'N COLD! i admit, i AM a wuss and totally spoiled by the SoCal heat and sun. It is weird to be out in the 57 degree weather during the month of September. I am considering buying a heater for my room already! however, all in all...it is still exciting and different. Now...with satellite dish network TV and internet all set up...this will be better than the first few days of living it...barbaric style. Food in SF has been above and beyond satisfactory. I feel as if i am back at my homeland...with unlimited good asian food and asians walking around (guess it's not too much of a deviation from the great city of LA). Am I homesick? just a tad bit...but as of now...I am enjoying my freedom once more...2 months of "home" sitting is not pleasant in my book. Thanks for those that called me and msged me on my bday....it meant a lot...in particularly in this strange city where I am still desperately trying to learn my public transportation routes. A massive gratitude goes out to my sister...i love you more than you know and yes...i will miss you =) *goose bumps*

keeping this entry short and simple...lots of observations and thoughts running through my head. my brain's been running hay wire with the input of all these information on this brand new life. For now...i'll leave you with some pictures of my crib and my adventures.
My Bedroom













My house
China Town, Union Square, UCSF =D

life is grand....no time to waste...time to deal!

Simple Pleasure in Life
1) Seeing a crowd of people walking on the street at midnite
2) Embrace my warm blanket during cold SF summer day
3) Satellite Dish Network TV!!
4) Driving is not required to get to places
5) Adventuring in the place unknown to me
